Make Your Own Bifana: Traditional Portuguese Sandwich

[@Haupialani]

I just came back from a trip to Lisbon/Porto. Tried a bifana and I really liked it. Simple with just the meat, sauce, and bread with some sauce on it. The one I had was with the meat simmering in a wok-like pan with that wonderful sauce. They put the meat, dripping with sauce, on the bread. Then quickly dipped the sandwich in the sauce. Very delicious. Yours seems similar so I'll try it.

It's really a challenge to replicate the authentic bifana taste and aroma in a home kitchen, but this one has that same signature flavor. I hope you enjoyed Portugal, I certainly did! Thanks for watching!

To have the actual authentic Bifana Portuguese taste you need to have access to a Portuguese shop or Bakery to purchase Sweet Pimento Paste & Spiced Pimento Paste. I don't like mine too spicy so I mix 1/4 Spicey to 1/2 or 3/4 Sweet Paste. Plus all the other ingredients that go into making the marinade.

@@margaretdossantos7563 yep, this is as close as I could get. I'd prefer to go back to Portugal for the real thing! :)

May I offer a bit of advice? You talk really nicely and you explain really well, my suggestion would be to either drop down the volume for the music ( the music used is more appropriate for car presentation videos), or just change the style of it. But more you, not the music.

Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching.

You can also tenderise it by putting some garlic in the bag and bay leaf to infuse into the meat and before cooking just remove the bay leaf.
